Missouri AG restricts gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has issued an emergency regulation clarifying that gender transition interventions for minors are experimental and covered by existing Missouri law governing unfair, deceptive, and unconscionable business practices in administering healthcare services. The regulation includes specific informed-consent disclosures and guardrails to protect minors from inhumane science experiments. The regulation will last 30 legislative days or 180 days, whichever is longer.
